Self medicates with psilocybin, LSD etc and writes a book about it > contributes to massive hype around psychedelics > demand spikes > basically no one can legally supply the demand > “Actually don’t do psychedelics” Did I miss anything?

While I’ve tried many psychedelics at many dose ranges, psilocybin mushrooms stand alone in their accessibility & range. They grow natively in almost every part of the world, are super easy to cultivate, & deliver every time. This trifecta doesn’t exist w/ any other psychedelic.

Psilocybin mushrooms have the lowest risk profile of any substance. Now that the narrative is flipping from focus on medicalization use cases to recreation, expect any adverse events involving mushrooms to be amplified 10x. This doesn’t change the fact they’re extremely safe.

Fun fact there is only one farm that produces all the psilocybin truffles available at Smart Shops in Amsterdam, and the owner credits psilocybin mushrooms themselves for explaining to him in great detail how to cultivate their subterranean counterparts

The craziest part of the FDA adcomm voting ‘no’ on recommending MDMA is that there are millions of people currently growing their own mushrooms and organizing community education events all over the planet and there’s nothing outdated regulatory agencies can do about it.

When did the impetus for psychedelic experience pivot from “spiritual seeking” to “mental health treatment?” Maybe the mental health epidemic is tied to the loss of spiritual seeking or the blanket denial of spirituality and the dismissal of unquantifiable phenomena / mysticism?

At SXSW I asked the packed room how many people had tried psilocybin mushrooms and literally every hand went up. I then asked how many people exclusively procured them from a state-sanctioned, strictly legal source and only one hand remained up.

There’s so much low hanging fruit for mushroom entrepreneurs. How has no one opened a mushroom themed restaurant in LA or NYC that serves dishes based around mushrooms cultivated in house amidst myco art and artifacts? Or a churrascaria but with mushroom cuts in place of meat.

The media narratives are coming out in full force trying to curtail the popular use of mushrooms. Every major platform has run a story on the risks of mushroom edibles this week. Yet mushrooms are more popular than ever bc they’re the real deal. Grow your own or know your grower.

This week I’ve seen major media outlets almost exclusively cover psychedelics in a negative light. There’s even a CBS article from *2013* that was updated yesterday to ride the wave of backlash. This ultimately plays into Draconian public drug policy - “you’re not safe w/o us!”

Respectfully-ish, there is no psychedelic medicine space. There never has been. All there has been is years of questionable research and reporting while exponential numbers of humans continue to do psychedelics outside of a medicalized space.

Have it on good authority that a leading psychedelic researcher dismissed the existence of higher dimensions / spirit world in lectures & work - then had an initiatory experience & changed their tune. I learned from the same teachers at the same place 7 years before their visit.

95% of all cannabis sold in the U.S. is on the “legacy market” (underground, unregulated). This is 12 years into recreational legalization, and 28 years into medical legalization. Why would psychedelics be any different?

Pointing out faults, criticizing and bringing people / organizations down is the easiest thing to do in the world. Those who focus on faults in others rarely if ever have a coherent and realistic alternative plan. “Build a better mouse trap” - if you could, you’d be doing that.

The Ricaurte Retraction In 2002 a researcher “accidentally” gave 10 monkeys lethal doses of meth instead of the MDMA they were supposed to be researching. The resulting “research” damaged public perception of MDMA at the time after it was labeled ‘neurotoxic’.
